Some folks treat tools as works of art. Others treat them as a starting
point. The same friend of mine sawed down the middle of the handle of a box
end
wrench so it would slip over the cap tube of the temperature gauge sense bulb.
Quite clever and will remove all but the most stubbern sensor nut.
I's say that for $3 and an hour of your time you have a special tool that
would cost $40 if you bought it. Of course if Joe A were to make them they'd
cost about $20.
